This is the eleventh edition of Robert Bing's book on regional diagnosis in lesions of the brain and spinal cord. It is a compendium which appeared in its first edition in 1909 and in recognition of its excellence it has in its succeeding editions been made more accessible to the English speaking students through very able translations. This edition is by a new translator, Dr. Webb Haymaker, who has further enhanced its value by additional developments of several of the subjects, particularly the section on the anatomy and function of the bladder as well as the localization of spinal and cerebral lesions by X rays. The present volume contains 275 pages as contrasted with the original 200, and a corresponding increase in illustrations.

The Compendium of Regional Diagnosis has for many years been not only a standard introductory text in this country but is of great value as a reference guide. It is clearly and accurately written and can be recommended to physicians as well as to students.
